Hi, Dr. Lam. First let me say I think it is truly amazing you have a site and a forum like this. I live in NYC and if only the doctors here were as compassionate and patient as you...The reason I am writing is I had silicone injected in my lip at the beginning of the year. I only wanted a small amount in the bottom lip, but I let the doctor talk me into the upper lip as well. Needless to say, now my whole mouth is completely crooked and too full. The top lips are protruding and crooked and the bottom lip is crooked as well. It actually makes my whole face look lop-sided now. I am wondering if there is anything that you can do. Often I have to do interviews for projects I work on and it is quite distracting. I wish I had never listened to that doctor. I should also mention the bottom lip has 2 lumps, one of which I repeatedly bite all the time as I am eating. Pretty painful. I tried to enclose some pics, but the file is too large. Is there somewhere else I can send them? I thank you again for your time...CMartin
